İstanbul'da Dragon Festivali ilk kez Haliç'te binlerce kişinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirildi.
İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi ve Türkiye Kano Federasyonu'nun desteklediği organizasyona Feshane ev sahipliği yaptı. Festivalde Dragon Boat yarışları için Haliç üzerinde 10 kulvarlı 250 metrelik özel bir parkur kuruldu. Haliç'in bu bölümü yarışlar nedeniyle 2 gün boyunca deniz trafiğine kapatıldı.
